EDITORIAL LETTER.
WASHINGTON, D. 0., June 3, ’89.
DEAR GAzE'l‘TEt—The appalling horror
of the Central Pennsylvania flood and wash-
out transcends all other thoughts and
themes here,asit will stir to the deepest
depths the sympathies of a world. It is
one of those terrible and piteous “touches
of nature that makes the whole world kin.”
The floods in the Potomac and the inun-
dation of the Capitol City’s great avenue
and all the plateau south of Pennsylvania
avenue awakened nevertheless a lively local
interest. It was a novel sight to see boats
and rafts and high-wheeled vans transport—
ing passengers all day Sunday, and remov—
ing goods on the south side of the avenue to
more elevated places of safety. From Third
street, at the point where it crosses Penn—
sylvania avenue, to the extreme eastern
shore of the eastern branch across and
beyond the navy yard to where it flows into
the Potomac was one solid sheet of water,
and from Third street up Pennsylvania
avenue to Thirtenth street, with but short
intervals, this 200 feet wide thoroughfare
was from four inches to four feet under
water. All day Sunday the water was some
four feet deep at the Sixth street depot
of the Pennsylvania railroad. The ground
floor and office of the St. James Hotel was
three feet under water for 24 hours, ending
yesterday evening. The National Hotel
opposite could not be reached except on
rafts, skills or high-wheeled vehicles. The
owners of boats and high-wheeled carts
have done a thriving business in ferrying,
while the street gamins haven’t had such a
jolly chance to cleanse their lower extrem- ‘
ities in all their lives. The government’s
carp ponds, near the Washington monu—
ment, were all submerged. and the fish, of
course, have escaped. One carp, said to
have weighed six pounds, was caught
Sunday by a little street arab in front of the
Pennsylvania railroad depot on Sixth street.
The houses of the several boat clubs, over
at Georgetown, or West Washington as it is
now called, have been greatly damaged, and
one heat club house worth, with its contents,
$25,000 has been washed away and totally
destroyed. Immense losses of property
must have resulted from last Thursday and
Friday’s down pour of rain in nearly all of
the lower sections of Washington, and also
all the way up the Potomac to Harper’s
Ferry. The greatest loss hereabouts is in
the injury done the new wall being . creat-
ed out of the long area of river bottom,
and by means of which the channel was
straightened and deepened, and some three
thousand acres of land reclaimed and added
to the White Lot or Washington Monument
Park. The government engineers, in re—
peated reports to the last house committee
on appropriations, warned them that just
such destruction and enormous loss, as now
witnessed, would occur unless this great
public work already commenced was con-
tinued to completion. But the democratic
mnjority of that committee were hoping to
aid Cleveland’s rc-election by playing the
economy dodge, and so no appropriation
was made to finish the work in such an
advanced state of construction, and the
result is that, by this freshet, work that has
cost from half to a full million dollars is
utterly wiped out. Such is democratic
“reform.”(?) The health of a great city,
the lives of its people, and the saving of
millions already expended was nothing
when a partisanadvantage might be gained
bysuch cheating and jugglery as posing
before the country as the friends of economy.
THE WEATHER.
The elemental disturbances of the past
two or three days are perhaps unprecedent-
ed in violence, variety and wide extent, in
any previous month of May,aseason usually
characterized by warm and sunny sl'ies.
The appalling incident at Johnstown, Pa.,
is followed by a genuine cyclone on the
upper Potomac, accompanied by loss of life
and great destruction of property; a flood in
the tributaries of Kanawha, carrying away
millions of dollars worth of lumber; furious
gales and many disasters on the lakes,
snowstorms in Michigan, frosts in Illinois,
tempestuous gales in the Gulf of St.. Law-
rence, and earthquakes'in France.
Another singular fact is that there has
been nearly ten inches of rain fall in Wash-
ington since the 4th of March in excess of
the normal, while in Baltimore, Philadel-
phia and New York there has been a
deficit. "-
“ swrvar.” snavrcn.
There are three hundred 'candidates for
office to be examined before the Civil
Service Commission here to-morrow, but the
examination room has only accommodations
for about one hundred at a time. We are
far behind the Chinese system iii this
respect, but we hope to see the time when
the honest men of both parties will join in
wiping this whole enactment of dupliclties,
cheats and jugglerics from the national
statute books. The nation has endured
since the days of Washington and had no
trouble in securing competent, honest and
faithful public officials. Newly appointed
Commissioner Roosevelt remarked that had
he been required to pass the test of the
present civil service examination he never
would have been a civil service commission-
er, nor would General Harrison ever been
President, or a single member of his cabinet
been eligible for their high positions, yet a
freshly graduated lot of school girls and
boys could easily pass.
DEBT PAYlNG IN MAY.
It is estimated at. the Treasury Depart:
ment that there has been a decrease of
$8,000,000 in the public debt during the
month of May, notwithstanding the dis-
bursement of nearly $12,000,000 during the ~
month on account of pensions. The Treas-
ury surplus is now stated at $54,000,000.
DECORATION DAY.
The pathetic National Memorial Service
Day devoted to strewiug with flowers the
graves of her sons slain in battle for the
nation’s preservation was more elaborately
observed here than elsewhere for the reason
that hereabouls sleep the greatest number"
of fallen heroes. At Soldiers’ Home, at
Arlington and F redericksburg, ' at the
“Heights” where our poor boys were mow-
ed down by rebel shot and shell like wheat
before the reaper—special services were had
despite the torrents of rain. Gen. Cyrus
Bussey. First Assistant Secretary of the In-
terior, addressed the Baltimore Grand Ar-
my Posts, and uttered truths seldom heard
in that locality. After asserting “that he
had no feeling of antagonism for the men
who wore the gray,” he said :
“I am willing for them to glorfy the men
who died for the cause the South fought for
but when it comes to glorifying the cause
for which they fought, as their surviving
comrades did the other day at Alexandria,
Va., when they unveiled a monument on
which was inscribed ‘To the men who died
in the consciousness of their duty,’ we have
a right to enquire into their motive. Those
who put up that monument knew that men
died in the Southern armies who did not do
so in the consciousness of havtng done their
duty. There ,were thousands who fought
in the southern armies who couldn’t lie un-
der thet monument, for they went into the
army under conscription :and against their
convictions. I know I am talking to some
men who are not in sympathy with me. I
know I up 31 to some who, when they
fought for t 1e South, knew they: were not
following dut . I knew of seventy»seven
men (arres . for being suspected of disloy—
alty to the Union) who were marched 120
milrs, with log chains on them, to Arkan-
1115 to Gov. Rector, who :gave them the
choice to go into the southern army or into
prison. They were put into the front rank
of Marmaduke's army. Ten were left be-
fore the battle of Shiloh came. There they
were put in the front rank and only two
survived. One was John W. Morris, He
told me afterward tha he had continued as
loyal to the Unionlas Was. Could any one
of those seventy-seven sleep under the mon-
ument at Alexandria? The prisoners at
Andeuonvill in the winter of 1864, were
like hogs waiting for slaughter. They had
to walk all' night to keep from freezing.
_One of my comrades saw one of them read-
ing a letter from his wife. When he passed
him a short time later he found him still
frozen, with the letter in his hand.
“The scoundrels who made that prison
know they could not sleep under that men—
ument in the consciousness of having done
their duty. There was as much difference
between the cause of the Union and that of
the South as between heaven and hell. If
I had been South, I suppose I should have
been in the southern army, but that would
not have made it right. Their cause was
one of dishonor. It is a crime to teach the
rising generation that there was anything
in it worthy of fighting for. If we put down
anarchy, it is because we worship one flag.
If We allow Confederate flags to be brought
out andworshiped, we'had just as well allow
the anarchists to bring out theirs. We see
that the south is blooming under the influ—
ence of a reconstructed and restored Union.
There is but one thing that checks her pros-
perity. A time will come when she will
acce t as true all the issues for which we
foug t. It will be when she allows all
her citizens there to vote, and to have their
votes counted. There are men who are
building up the south, especially in Vir-
ginia, Nort Carolina and Georgia, who are
outside of politics. It is time for the south
to stop worshiping the idols of the past and
look to the future. Let us look to the
future and honor the men who saved the
nation.”
PERSONALS.
To-day Mr. Thomas H. Sherman leaves
the State Depot'for a few days sojourn
among friends in Maine, before sailing for
Liverpool, where he is to succeed the Mr-
Russell who is charged as of and from Con-
necticut as consul at that most important
post. Mr. Blaine has been criticised for
having given this place to Mr. Sherman.
It is among the most fitting and creditable
to his head and heart of any yet given out
In the first place the public service gets a
man rarely capable, honest and every way do-
serving office, while Mr. Blaine recognizes
the faithful labors of a private secretary:
stenographer and telegrapher for a period
covering nearly a quarter of a century. If
New at London was.a..1.§personal.’3._nppnints~‘. ..
ment of the President’s, why may not Sher?
man at Liverpool, be a “personal? appoint-
ment of the great Premier without offence,
especially when he . is one of the best
equipped men'for the. position that could
have been selected, as his record tit the
Liverpool Consulate'will abundantly attest.
Col. Charles H. Birden, of Stamford, and
an old veteran of the 28th Conn. Vols., has
been reinstated in the Treasury department
from which the reform (?) democracy dis—
missed him. ‘
Commissioner of Patents Mitchell, will
soon promote Mrs. Coon, sister of Mrs.
Joseph Cox, of South Norwalk, and now a
clerk in the Patent Ofiice Gazette Division.
As Ever, B.
, The Soldier Dead.
, Accounts from all over the Union indi-
cate that the observance of Memorial Day
was general and full of interest. Not
only in the Northern states, where patriot-
ism has and ever had its abiding place,
but throughout the South, where cx-Con—
federatcs and Union men went hand in
hand to deck the graves of former enemies
and comrades alike.
At Jacksonville and St. Augustine, Fla.,
the soldiers’ graves were decorated under
the auspices of the G. A. R. Citizens
participated, and the graves of both
Federal and COnfedcratc dead alike were
strewn with flowers. At St. Augustine,
during the night, some one had placed a
Federal flag on the monument to the Con-
federate dead: of the town, and the. flag
.Ewas remOvcd by direction of tthemorial
association and thc monument garlanded
_with flowers. Memorial Day was celt-
bratcd at Chalmetta, near New Orleans,
by the Grand Army of the Republic with
the usual ceremonies. The graves of the
fUnion soldiers were decorated with
flowers. The Confederate association,
IArmy of Tennessee, Northern Virginia,
fund cavalry men took part in the core-
Tinonies and made handsome floral contri-
ibutions. The day was more generally
observed in New Jersey, and the proces-
sions to the cemeteries larger than for
.many years. Paterson Post, James T.
,Pagc Memorial association and other or-
éganizations from Philadelphia, decorated
.thc grave of Gen. George B. McClellan.
At Gettysburg, public school children
-walkcd in a body and strc'wed the green
. turf about the graves with flowers. Hon.
)Stcwart L. Woodford delivered the ora-
liion. At the banquet of Meade Post in
j'Philadelphia, Gen. Sherman, Chauncey
_M. Depew, Secretary of the Interior Noble,
'LGcn. A. S. Webb, and Representative H.
fill. Bingham made speeches very culogistic
{of the hero of Gettysburg, whose name
'5th Post bears. Decoration Day was duly
iobscrvcd by American ladies in the city
iof Mexico, who went to the United States
’cemetcry provided with an abundance of
flowers and decorated the soldiers’ monu-
§ment. A floral flag was placed over the
filmonument marking the graves of soldiers
{who fell in 1847. Many flowers were sent
“lite the cemetery by United States Minister
{’Ryan. At the banquet in the evening
__1Gen. Frisbic and Minister Ryan both

SO UTII—NOR WALK
It is currently reported that two of the
pupils at the Union school, South Nor—,
lwalk, contemplate publishing a six-column
fsemi-weekly as soon as definite arrange-
:‘ments can be made. The most difiicult
task is to secure a female correspondent
{in Brooklyn. '
i A laboring man, residing in South
,Norwalk, was desirous of contributing
,something toward the building fund for
the Congregational church. He had not
the ready means so he made a beautiful
ebony cane, which was placed in the fair
of the Young Peoples’ Christian Endeavor
.Society and sold for $5, that amount
goingtothc church treasury. The cane
was then presented to the Rev. Mr.
Biddle, pastor.
Most of the incidents and occurrences
in connection with Memorial Day by the
G. A. R. and the public generally have
been chronicled. Only the services at
the soldiers’ graves at Five Mile River
remain. These were decorated on Sunday
in the presence of members of the Grand
Army and a large concourse of citizens in
an impressive manner, This was not the
only pleasing feature. Many of the G. A.
R. returned to South Norwalk, and
attended the usual meeting in the hall of
the Union Gospel Temperance Association,
where they threw hot shot into the rum
traffic, proving themselves yet soldiers
prepared for that battle. Their participa--
tion made the meeting very interesting.
It is also pleasing to,know that some of
the most pronounced of third party advo-
cates are now advocating "union of effort,
and the education of the masses by tom-
perancclitcrature and speeches as the only
method 'of 'winning the coming conflict.”

.4 BUSINESS MELODY.
There was a man in our town,
And he was wondrous wise,
For when be marked his prices down
He then did advertise.
And when he saw his trade increase,
With all his might and main
He marked still lower ovory price
And advertised again.
-—1\‘ew York Journal.
And when be advertised again
His rivals loudly swore, .
To see folks rush with might and main
TO patronize his store.
And while they sat in solitude,
And saw him custom win,
That man behind the counter stood
And raked the shekols in.,
—0harlestoum News.
And when he raked the shckols in,
And saw his fortune rising,
He took a goodly lot of tin
And kept on advertising.
Each day a gorgeous sum he’d sink,
And demonstrate full plain
The more one pays for printer’s ink
The greater is his gain.
—L‘oston Star.
And while his,weaith was piling high
And rival men looked solemn,
Ho to the printing house would fly
To take another column.
And when the world shall mourn him gone,
And in the tomb he lies,
His life-long text shall mark his stone :——
“Ir rAvs To Anvmmssl,’
Memorial Day.
Memorial Day dawned dark and dismal,
and many a veteran and many an ex-
pectant visitor from the outskirts looked
upon the dull, threatening sky disheart-
ened and disappointed. The ubiquitous
crank who quoted : “Rain before seven,
stop before ’lcven,” was abroad early
absorbed in his self appointed task of
consoling the inconsolablc, but as the
poetic license of his quotation ran out
before a great many people got up, and as
the weather clerk persistently refused to
be bound by any such old-fashioncd
stipulation, and continued to water the
earth long after the force of the old
proverb was exhausted by limitation, the
ubiquitous crank aforesaid, with his faith
in signs and omens hopelessly shattered,
crawled into his hole out of the wet, while
yet the day was young.
And still the showers came down.
The dreary outlook preventcd the usual
crowds from the country ’round about
from putting ' in their appearance,
although towards noon the streets began
to assume a galalday appearance; flags
were flying hercnnd there with a show of
half-hearted as. well as. half-mastcd
enthusiasm; small groups of rural visitors
with umbrellas and waterproofs and dis-
appointedlooks. At 2 o‘clock, the hour
appointed for starting the parade column,
the sun pecpcd out for the first time, but
quickly withdrew behind its cloudy cur-
tain and anotherhcavy shower came to
drown the hopes that Old Sol’s few rays
had inspired. However, despite the rain
and tho pospect of its continuance, there
was a large crowd of citizens and visitors
‘ on West avenue when the parade formed,
and the various bodies were greeted with
applause as they took up their positions
in the line, which was made up as follows;
Marshal George W. Raymond.
‘ iIeIne s Band.
~Company F, Fourth Regiment.

The line of march was from the starting
point near the Masonic building, through
Wall street, Mott avenue, North Union
Park, Franklin avenue and Riverside
avenue to Riverside cemetery, where a
large stand had been erected facing the
monument, which marks the resting place
ofa number of Norwalk’s soldier dead,
where the exercises took place in accord-
ance with the following programme :—
Praycr by Post Chaplain, Geo. S. Partrick.
Song by Glee Club. Introductory remarks
by Commander Buxton, of Buckingham
Post. Unveiling of monument. Music
by the baud. G. A. R. Memorial and
Dedication services. Music bycthc band.
Address by Captain Russell Frost. Music
by Glee Club. Address by Rev. Chas. H.
Everest. Benediction by Rev. S. B. S.
Bissell. _
The stage was occupied by the orators,
glee club, distinguished guests, ladies,
etc. At brief intervals the rain came down
in torrents and was the signal for a gen-
eral umbrella raising which made the vast
crowd of spectators look like an enormous
monster clad in an armor of large and
variegated scales.
The introductory address by Comman-
der George 1 Buxton was brief and well
chosen, as follows:
Commons ANn Eurasian—Our Exercises
to day will include a portion of the regu-
lar Memorial Day service provided for by
the ritual of our order, in connection
with the ceremonies incident to the un-
veiling of the Monument. Last year a
committee was appointed by Buckingham
Post,to prov1de for the erection of a suita-
ble memorial tablet or monument in
yonder plot, which had been set apart and
donated by the patriotic managers-of this
cemetery association for the burial of
poor and fricndless deceased soldiers and
of the late war, who might otherwise not
receive honorable burial. Although the
resolution was somewhat brief and inex—
plicit, it was understood as the sense of
the Post, that the monument was not to
be of an elaborate or expensive character,
but such as would honor the hallowed
spot, and mark it for future generations
as the-resting place of those who fought
to save the .union in the..hour,.of,,neril-.
But the memorial which we 10-day dedi-
cate is something even more than in
honor of our dead comrades. In the
natural course of events, those solid
blocks of granite will stand for ages—
cvcn long after the status which sur-
mounts them—and to the future genera-
tion, to whom the Grand Army of the
Republic is unknown or but a faint and
distant memory, and when this cemetery
shall have become a beautifiul city of the
dead, the inscription on yonder stone will
point the fact in the year of our Lord 1889,
there existed in the town of Norwalk, a
relic of the great war of the rebellion,
known as Buckingham Post, No. 12, Dept.
of Couu., Grand Army of the Republic.
[applause] The monument is therefore
also a memorial of the Post. As a mem-
ber of and on behalf of the committee, I
would say that if the result of their efforts
shall prove entirely satisfactory to their
comrades, then we have fulfilled the
highest desire of our hearts. It only re-
mains to unvail to view the memorial
statue of Buckingham Post.
At the conclusion of Commandchux-
ton’s rcmarks the Post faced about and,
at a signal from the commander, 1.10 flag
was removed from the statue amid the
cheers and applause of the assemblage.
Captain Russell Frost, the orator of the
day, had prepared a formal address for
the occasion, which, owing to the inclem-
ency of the weather, he thought best to
condense into a simple review of Nor-
walk’s share in the great rebellion, which
proved intensely interesting, and which
the Raconn reporter sumarizcd as follows :
President Lincoln’s first call for troops,
April 15, 1861, was seconded by Connecti-
cut’s war governor, Buckingham, and
without an unnecessary hour's delay
Norwalk responded and contributed a
number of men to the First regiment,
rcndezvouscd in New Haven. Simultane-
ously began the organization of the second
and third Connecticut’s contingent, under
the President’s call, would have been only
one regiment, but so eager were Connec-
ticut’s patriots to go to the front, that,
through the personal efforts of Governor
Buckingham with the President, three
regiments were sent into the service
withina few days after the President’s
call. The First regiment was commanded
by Colonel Daniel Tyler, of Norwich,
afterwards bri adicr-geucral; the Second
regiment by Co onel Alfred H. Terry, who
became the ablest and most distinguished
of volunteer commanders, and is now
major-general in the regular service. The
Third regiment, impeded briefly by reason
of the surplus; of -_voluntcers over the
state’s quota, w‘en’t‘out May 23. Company
G, of this regiment, was composed cutirc-~
l of Norwalk men, under Captain
Uouglass Fowler, later captain Company
A, Seventeenth regiment and afterwards
lieutenant-colonel of the regiment, who
was killed and buried in an unknown
grave at Gettysburg. Albert H. Wilcox-
son entered service as ad utant, Seven-
teenth, became captain 0 Company I,

of the Third regiment, other officers were
First Lieut., Gilbert; Second Lieut., S.
Byxbec; First Sergt., James E. Russell.
Company E, Fifth regiment was recruited
largely from Norwalk, and was in some
heavy engagements, being 116 days under
constant fire before the fall of Atlanta.
The first colonel of the Fifth was 0. S.
Ferry, one of Norwalk’s most honored
citizens, who rose to the rank of brigadicr-
general and commanded a brigade for the
defense of Washington, and was subse-
quently U. S. senator. Company E, of
the Fifth, was commanded by Capt. A.
A. Chinery, who went out as first lieuten-
ant, was taken prisoner at Cedar Moun-
tain, paroled and promoted as captain.
Charles Reynolds was mustered in as cor.
poral and became first lieutenant. The
first sergeants were Munson Hoyt and
Edward Benedict, afterwards sergeant-
major, W. A. Ambler and Stiles G. Hyatt.
Oliver S. Brady, corporal, was killed at
Cedar Mountain. Charles F. niallock,
corporal, became second lieutenant. Nor-
walk men were also represented in Com-
pany D, Seventh regiment. Its'second.
1
cutcnant was Thomas Horton, killed
in battle. Captain Douglass Fowler
commanded Com any H, Eighth regiment,
and Thomas H. ‘I ced, was first lieutenant
Company E, Twelfth regiment, com;
mandcd by Captain Stephen D. Byxbcc;
II. M. Prowitt, sergeant. Companies A
and F, Seventeenth, were also Norwalk
companies. R. Lorenzo Ells entered as
sergeant Company F, and was afterwards
promoted to first lieutenant. 0. Frederick
Betta mustered in as corporal, promoted
to second lieutenant and subsequently as
captain of Company F. Rufus H. Buttery,
sergeant, was captured at Chancellorsville
in May, 1803, and paroled the same
month. Edwin R. Smith, sergeant, died
in service. Sergeant Thomas P. Weed
promoted to first lieutenant. Corporal
Wm. W. Westiakc was fatal] wounded
at Gettysburg. Robert M. ilcox, cor-
poral Company E, Seventeenth,» first

Allen, one of Norwa k’s most distin-
guished soldiers, who was mustered in as
first lieutenant, wounded at Gettysburg
where Colonchowlcr was killco, and
was afterwards commissioned as major
of the regiment, and on the death
of Colonel Wilcoxson, succeeded in
commanding the regiment. lie now lies
in Union cemetery beside his ,boy soldier
brother, James Lawrencc Allen,who went
out as a private and was promoted to 2d
sergeant and was killed at Bermuda Hun-
dred, Va., and now “sleeps beneath that
low rccn tent whose curtain never out-
war swings.” The members of Co. F,
now in Norwalk, are 1st Lieut, W. S.
Knapp; 2d Lieut. W. A. Kellogg, who
was succeeded by Chas. E. Doty, after-
wards 1st Licut. of Co. I, G. W. Shaw,
who enlisted as private, was promoted to
2d Lieutenant. Among the Sergeants
were Chas. F. Loomis, Theodore :Brush

service as Major of the 1st Heavy Artil-
lery afterwards Lieutenant-Colonel in
the‘;8th:I'ufa"nt‘ry. 'Dr. James E. Bar-
bour was hospital steward and after-
wards assistant surgeon of the 2lst In-
fantry. A. Homer Byiogton of Norwalk,
enlisted in the Clay Guards of Washing‘
ton andfiaftcr a short, service as soldier,
went to the front as correspondent. By
his enterprise and dash he succodcd in
sending the first report of the final victory
at Gettysburg to President Lincoln.
Throughout the war Mr. Byingtou was a‘
steadfast and faithful friend of the Nor-
walk soldiers and did them many a valua-
ble service. Another honored citizen of
Norwalk not entering the service from the
town, whose name as commander was
among the most honorable and distin-
guished of the war, wore with honor» the
stars and crescent of a Major-General and
commandedacorps of the Army of the
Potomac in many of its famous and
bloody engagements. As a private citi-
zen he wears his military honors modestly
anda recital of his achievements, when
made at all, must be heard from other
lips than his.
Capt. Frost’s pcroration was an eloquent
appeal for a due consideration of the sac-
rifices, the gallantry, the patriotism and
the devotion of Connecticut’s sons who
went to the war in defence of our country.
was tumultuously applauded.
Following Capt. Frost’s remarks was an
address by Rev. Chas. Everest, which was
an eloquent and effective appeal to the
patriotism of those present to cherish with
sacred zeal the blessings won by the sol-
diers of the war.
After Mr. Everst’s address Commander
Buxton declared the meeting adjourned
and the line reformed and passed over
the same route and up through Main
street and High street and disbanded at
the Post rooms in the Athenmum build-
mg.

Advertising is an ancient and honorable
institution and was practiccd longer ago
than a great many people imagine. Get
your bible, turn to Numbers 24th cha tor,
14th verse and you will see that Ba aam
believed in advertising and said to Balak :
“Behold, I go unto my people; come
therefore and 1 will advertise.” Turn
again to Ruth, 4111 chapter, 4th verse, and
you will find that Boaz, in connection
with a real estate transaction in which he
was interested, expressed himself as a
judicious advertiser.-—N0rwalk Itccord.
